is soon to change to 20 along with child benefit, so if child benefit in payment then child maintenance payments will continue.

Hi kelloggs. Any idea when this change may be taking place?

I've looked at CMEC's "Timetable for change" & can't find any mention of this happening even though all the other future changes are stated.

From Nasca:

When does the CSA end?

A child remains a qualifying child until he/she leaves full time non-advanced education, OR until he/she has their 19th birthday. CMEC legislation is set to increase the age of a qualifying child to 20 years, providing that child is still in full time further education.
There is a termination date applicable from the date the child leaves education. The termination date can be a few weeks after the child has left school.
